Green Cleaning - Green Washing

17 Apr 2023 6:10 PM | Deleted user

It is important that you find a reputable cleaning company that is trained in green cleaning. There is a lot to learn in the cleaning industry, in regards to green cleaning. Take the time to research companies in your local area to find one that is knowledgeable.

 

A lot of companies nowadays like to “green wash”. This means that they give off the false impression that they are eco friendly and using all natural products, when they in fact are not. It is not honest. This is a common problem in many industries, not just cleaning. You can look for companies that have undergone green cleaning certifications, like the one offered by IJCSA, or gotten the green seal of approval.

 

A company would green wash because they are able to charge a lot of money for their services. Claiming that they are eco friendly allows them to charge a premium for their services. The client is stuck paying for a more expensive service, not knowing exactly what they are getting; a substandard product.
